Thrithala in the district is gearing up to host a people’s agriculture festival from September 1 to 3. The three-day festival coinciding with the Onam celebrations is being held as part of the Sustainable Thrithala Project spearheaded by Minister for Local Administration M.B. Rajesh in his Assembly constituency.
Agricultural products, including vegetables, tubers and flowers, cultivated across 160 acres for the Onam market, are ready for harvest. What is special about this initiative is that farmers will receive 20% more for their produce while consumers will benefit from 30% lower prices.
